Replaces embedded objects with references to them in the `objects` table. Only needs to be ran once if the instance was created before Pleroma 1.0.5. The reason why this is not a migration is because it could significantly increase the database size after being ran, however after this `VACUUM FULL` will be able to reclaim about 20% (really depends on what is in the database, your mileage may vary) of the db size before the migration.
```sh tab="OTP"
-./bin/pleroma_ctl database remove_embedded_objects [<options>]
+./bin/pleroma_ctl database remove_embedded_objects [option ...]
```
```sh tab="From Source"
-mix pleroma.database remove_embedded_objects [<options>]
+mix pleroma.database remove_embedded_objects [option ...]
```
### Options
The disk space will only be reclaimed after `VACUUM FULL`. You may run out of disk space during the execution of the task or vacuuming if you don't have about 1/3rds of the database size free.
```sh tab="OTP"
-./bin/pleroma_ctl database prune_objects [<options>]
+./bin/pleroma_ctl database prune_objects [option ...]
```
```sh tab="From Source"

+mix pleroma.database prune_objects [option ...]
```
### Options

+## Vacuum the database
+
+### Analyze
+
+Running an `analyze` vacuum job can improve performance by updating statistics used by the query planner. **It is safe to cancel this.**
+
+```sh tab="OTP"
+./bin/pleroma_ctl database vacuum analyze
+```
+
+```sh tab="From Source"
+mix pleroma.database vacuum analyze
+```
+
+### Full
+
+Running a `full` vacuum job rebuilds your entire database by reading all of the data and rewriting it into smaller
+and more compact files with an optimized layout. This process will take a long time and use additional disk space as
+it builds the files side-by-side the existing database files. It can make your database faster and use less disk space,
+but should only be run if necessary. **It is safe to cancel this.**
+
+```sh tab="OTP"
+./bin/pleroma_ctl database vacuum full
+```
+
+```sh tab="From Source"
+mix pleroma.database vacuum full
+```
+
+## Add expiration to all local statuses
+
+```sh tab="OTP"
+./bin/pleroma_ctl database ensure_expiration
+```
+
+```sh tab="From Source"
+mix pleroma.database ensure_expiration
+```
